We detected nothing strange or unusual during the testing process, as the Dragon 3000 didn't overheat or show other signs of shoddy manufacturing/components. It performed quite well, and at $129 it brings a nice and clean $250 V2 SLI package down to Earth for most gamers.
Overall we were pleasantly surprised at the quality and performance of the Dragon 3000, and have no reason to doubt that you'll find it to be a sharp piece as well. The diversity and choice of vendors that offer a Voodoo2-based product is truly staggering and shows no signs of letting up in the near future. A boat-load (no pun intended folks) of Taiwanese TNT and Banshee cards have already been announced or have even debuted, along with a few Savage3D cards. Even ASUS and AOpen have gotten into the act the past year and are offering strong gamer-motivated video upgrade options as well.
Looks like we've got some more reviews to do for you eh?
· Low Price ($129)
· The Voodoo2's natural speedy performance
· No bundle
· Finding a place that sells this card (Data Quest: 813-249-1300)
If you have any questions for us, please post them to the SharkyExtreme Discussion Board, and thanks as always for reading.
